Differences of continuous heating compared to isothermal holding at certain tempering temperatures are discussed. Focus is laid on in-depth characterization of phase development and carbon redistribution effects, such as, segregation and clustering. The results of this work suggest that segregation is the dominant effect at low temperatures (< 150 °C), while cluster formation within these segregated areas is prominent at intermediate temperatures (150–250 °C). Epsilon carbide is formed during continuous heating with off-stoichiometric chemical composition (270–350 °C). It transforms finally into cementite (T > 350 °C).}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2017.09.065} (DOI).
